Five Years Later, How Far Can Mike Anderson Take Arkansas Basketball?

Do Arkansas fans still trust Mike Anderson?

Ultimately, that's the key issue with how fans feel about a coach. Even if good things happen, do fans have faith their coach can take advantage of it and turn those good things into wins? When coaches have the faith of their fan base, they can get away with more things. When that faith is gone, every criticism - both major issues and petty complaints - is amplified by the cynicism. Some problems are even made up.

Today marks the 5th anniversary of the much-celebrated announcement that Mike Anderson was coming home to Arkansas, and after a strange season resulting in no NCAA Tournament for the 4th time in those five seasons, plenty of people are questioning how far Anderson will be able to take the Hogs.
